Who was more popular in their prime: Crawford or Cotto?

Cotto

 

Easily Cotto.
He was a smash hit at the ticket box office, did great numbers in TV ratings, and regularly sold lots of PPV´s. When Cotto fought, people talked and were excited. Cant really say the same about Crawford.

Crawford spent his physical prime doing **** all. Cotto went from one big fight to another, in a steady manner.

 

Huh? Cotto was easily.

He was a big draw.

 

Ya huge Puerto Rican fanbase in NYC.

They even came out for Berlanga when he was on the way up even before he was fighting legit contenders

 

Their PPV Sells were not even close to similar. See if TC can carry a PPV on his back, as Cotto has. How do you figure TC was able to cross over to mainstream and Cotto didn't?? Cotto was a very well known popular boxer. And Cotto was followed a lot on social media as well.

 

Cotto and it's not even close.

 

The irony of your username and having to ask this question....

 

Cotto had PR behind him and large diasporas in the US like NYC that would turn up to watch his fights.

 

We need a poll to root out the Craw-tards.

Cotto; he had an entire island rooting fir him; Crawford doesn't even have all of Omaha on his side.

No crapping on Crawford, it's just a fact.

 

Cotto for sure.

 

Other question: Who is more prime at their peak?

 

Definitely Cotto. Crawford was only a big name in his hometown.

 

Cotto for sure.

Having Mayweather and Pac around helped a lot I’m sure though.
